Any body got one of these?

I received the Stanley Tripod Flashlight (model 95-112) as a late
holiday president and fired it up yesterday for the first time. It has
6 LED bulbs and uses up to 9 AA batteries. You can switch on 1, 2 or
all 6 lamps.

Well I put in the 9 batteries (all new), stood in the dark and switched
on all 6 lamps. In my opinion, the light output is pitiful. Most of
my ordinary flashlights are better.

So, is it just me, or did I get a bad one? Does anyone else have one
of these? What is your opinion/experience?

Thanks,

IMHO LED's get toooooo much recognition. For now, they are simply less
effective when used in a flash light. They are pathetic when it come to
casting a light on something although they are great for signal lights. I
have seen several LED flash lights that perform poorly when compared to a
regular incandescent flash light.

The only advantage is that they last a long time and use less electricity,
but if you cannot see....

There's a review of it at
http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/stanley_max-t.htm. There
are comparison charts on that site--with all six LEDs going on fresh
batteries it should be more or less comparable to a mini-maglite.

LED flashlights generally aren't bright--their strengths are the
evenness of the illumination, longevity, and battery life--with 9
batteries in it that Stanley should run for days on one LED.

Use it for a while and I think it will grow on you--first time I tried
an LED flashlight I was hooked, but I still keep a fairly powerful
incandescent for those situations in which I really need brightness or
a long reach.

Thanks,

Bill Leonhardt

I bought a little 3 AAA cell flashlight with a 2 watt LED. It is about
the same
as a two AA cell Mag Light. So I got a 2 AA cell MagLight with a 3 watt
LED. Cannot
tell the difference between it and the other with a regular bulb, other
than the batteries last at least twice as long. It focuses just like a
regular MagLight.

Then I got a replacement LED Bulb for my large MagLight with good
results. Two savings are longer battery life and indefinite bulb life.
If you have ever been coon hunting and had a bulb go out and forgot to
bring a spare you know what I mean.

Now the lights with 3-9 small leds are toys.

There are good LED flashlights but they're pricey. I've got a Surefire
E2L that's rated at 30 lumens output. In contrast a stock mini-mag 2AA
light is less than 6. Nice thing about Surefire (and others) is they're
powered by lightweight lithium 123 batteries with very long shelf-life
and good run-time.

I wasn't even aware of the upgrade until my SIL upgraded both of my Maglites
while he was here back in Nov.

IIRC, he got the LED kits at Academy here in Houston. I might have also seen
them at HD recently .... worth a call.

He also put the back "push button" upgrade in my smaller AA model ... no
longer twist the cap to turn it on, just press the button that replaced the
back cap for the battery compartment.

I was a bit reluctant about the LED bulb in my larger 3 Cell Mag, but are
both actually much brighter than the bulbs they replaced ... a recommended
upgrade, IME

SIL also told me that in UK/EU, the kits for both, as well as spare parts
for Maglites, are readily available but cost more than the flashlights
themselves here in the US, so it's cheaper to buy a new one here than the
spare parts ... AAMOF, every time he comes over, he goes back with a dozen
or so for his mates ... this is usually before he goes into "leatherman
mode" ... he brings an extra suitcase for those.

pants off any converted twin AA Maglite I've seen.

Depends on the LED.

I have an LED aviation flashlight, LED bicycle lamps, and an LED strobes
on my airplanes that kick serious ass. The aviation flashlight is TOO
BRIGHT for cockpit use, with a single LED and (2) AAA cells, so I have
tape over the face of it. It makes a 2xAA cell MagLite look like an
antique, not to mention 10 times the battery life.

The LED strobes are "insanely" bright, and current biz-jets and small
aircraft come factory equipped with LED markers and strobes.

My red/blue/green/white flashlight was $50, and the Whelan Engineering
tail strobe was $600. Think of that, then think of Stanley as a brand.
What level of LED quality do you think Stanley would spec? Then
realize that the Stanley flashlight retails for about $25. G

Have one that stays in the studio ... impressive, and you would expect it to
be at about ten times the cost (less than $10) of an "LED upgrade kit" for a
MagLite here in the US.

With the "Nite Ize" upgrade kit for the MagLite, the made for flashlights
LED and a "suitable" reflector are included ... you could not do the
conversion otherwise.

While not a Surefire, my bet is that a $10 upgrade to a tool that you
already own, and that improves bulb performance/life, provides longer
battery life, and lets you use weak batteries recycled from other equipment,
will probably be considered "worth it" by those who do it.

Where did you get the replacement LED for your MAG light?

Take a look at http://www.flashlightreviews.com and you'll find
reviews on several mini-maglite conversions (and numerous other
flashlights as well). I have one with the Opalec and one with the
Terralux--both work fine, the Terralux is brighter but with shorter
battery life, the Opalec is not quite as bright, but runs a long time
and holds full brightness until the batteries are pretty well gone.
The Opalec also seems to give a somewhat smoother light field.

http://www.pocketlights.com/ledbulbs_for_mini_maglite.asp has both
and I've done enough business with them to feel that they are a
reliable outfit--the only time I've ever had a problem was right after
Katrina--I didn't realize they were in Louisiana--anyway that order
was slow but I can't really fault them for it.

You can find the Nite-Ize conversion at many sporting goods stores and
the like--it's cheap and it works but it leaves a bit to be desired
when compared with the others--the flashlightreviews discussion of it
will give you the details.

Someone mentioned Surfire. Surefire makes good flashlights, there's
no question of that, and if your life may depend on the thing working
then that's t he one to go for, but you can get a whole collection of
converted Maglites for the price of one Surefire and as for "purpose
made bulbs" they use the same Luxeon LEDs as the Terralux Maglite
conversion. There's also the battery issue--Surefires use CR-123
lithium cells that are hard to find and quite expensive compared to
the standard AAA, AA, C, or D cells that the Maglites use.

Actually the upgrades I've seen for the AA are just 3 little LED's. I
bought the model that comes with the single bright LED. How much is a
Surefire? How much for the battery? The military uses something like
that but cost is no object for them.

Uh, Andy, there's only one manufacturer of Luxeon LEDs, the people who
do the Maglite conversions get them from the same place that Surefire
does and there's nothing special about the ones that they sell to
Surefire except maybe that they get picked for color match.

Obviously a YMMV ... My Surefire cost $110, the latest Nite Ize upgrade for
the 15 year old MagLite was $8 ... I am not disappointed in either for the

:-) I wasn't disappointed by the price, only by the light output or lack
thereof. The mini-mag LED upgrade is fine if you don't need lots of light.

The two I have are both very recent "upgrades" (late Nov 06), and yours and
Andy's comments make me wonder if there's been a recent improvement? I do
know that my SIL tried one that was disappointing, then returned it for
another, but I wasn't paying much attention at the time.

I've got two identical AA Maglites on my desk as we speak. One with, and one
without, the "upgrade". There is no comparison as to the light output. The
upgrade LED is much brighter, not even close.

The one in my the truck is a much larger 3 cell, and it too is far more
powerful with the LED. Very noticeable difference, as I use it nightly when
I close up houses that are under construction after the subs leave.

When he embarked on this project while visiting from the UK, of the two, the
latter was the one I was worried about him messing with ... needlessly as it
turned out.

My experiences, and yours and Andy's comments, make me suspect that there
are upgrades, and then there are "upgrades".

There is all kinds of evidence around my house which will show that I
subscribe to that way of thinking.
I just never gave any thought to the fact that a flashlight could be
engineered to the point where they could ask $375.00 for one...with a
straight face.
As a reformed audiophile, I have seen people's sphincters getting
reamed by the likes of MonsterCable. 'Interconnects' for audio
equipment for a few hundred dollars which sounded the same in
blind-fold situations as their 20 dollar competition....even with a gun
to the head OR the threat of being shown a nude picture of Bea Arthur!
I always thought a flashlight was just that. Now I'm finding out that
some flashlights will show the molecular structure of moose-snot in the
middle of the night! (-----that is a Canadian thing..try not to read
too much into that..*G*)

In all seriousness, I did NOT need another thing to add to my list of
'wants', which tend to evolve into 'needs'.

$ 200.00 tops! Not a penny more!.. unless the $ 375.00 unit goes on
sale at ...$ 275.00???... 300 and that's final!!!

Hey, I'm from up here too, and I've been close enough to check out that

As a reformed audiophile, I have seen people's sphincters getting
reamed by the likes of MonsterCable. 'Interconnects' for audio
equipment for a few hundred dollars which sounded the same in
blind-fold situations as their 20 dollar competition....even with a gun
to the head OR the threat of being shown a nude picture of Bea Arthur!


Hey, there is high technology engineered into every one of those Monster
cables.

The technology is in the insulation!

How else could they make that teeny tiny cable look so big between the ends?

Bigger cable works better than door bell wire but Monster is selling a
"Look" not any significant improvement in signal quality.
